Reflective dark water, brilliant lasers and projections, Japanese philosophy – see Cockle Bay in a new light.
This spectacular artwork is a celebration of Hika Rakuyo, a Japanese concept that uses flowers and falling leaves as a metaphor for the transient beauty of life. Told through an eight-minute holographic light and laser show, admire the story of native Australian flowers blooming across the dark water of the bay.
Hika Rakuyo is a reminder of the beauty of flowers, their fragility and the crucial role they play in our ecosystem. An awe-inspiring reminder of our own transience and connection to the natural world.
Hika Rakuyo is an eight-minute spectacular that is on repeat from 6pm, with the final show at approximately 10.45pm.
